Azodicarbonamide, commonly known as ADCA or AC, stands as a pivotal chemical compound in modern material science, primarily recognized for its efficacy as a blowing agent. This odorless, yellow to orange-red crystalline powder, with the CAS Number 123-77-3 and molecular formula C2H4N4O2, is indispensable in the production of a wide array of foamed materials. Its unique properties allow for the creation of lightweight, strong, and flexible products across numerous industries.

The core function of Azodicarbonamide lies in its thermal decomposition. When subjected to specific temperatures, ADCA undergoes a controlled breakdown, releasing a mixture of gases, predominantly nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. These gases become entrapped within a polymer matrix, forming countless tiny bubbles that expand the material, giving it a cellular, foamed structure. This process is crucial for achieving desired density reductions, enhanced insulation properties, and improved cushioning in end products.

ADCA's versatility is showcased by its extensive applications across various polymeric materials. It is widely utilized in the foaming of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), PE (Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), XPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene), XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene), NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber), and PS (Polystyrene). From automotive components and insulation materials to footwear soles and yoga mats, ADCA plays a critical role in manufacturing products that demand both structural integrity and reduced weight.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers Azodicarbonamide in a variety of specialized grades, tailored to meet diverse industrial requirements. These grades differ significantly in their decomposition temperatures, gas evolution volumes, and average particle sizes, enabling precise control over the foaming process. For instance, high-temperature AC foaming agents typically decompose around 200-208°C, while normal and low-temperature grades can react effectively at 140-180°C. Particle sizes can range from 3-20 microns for chemical foaming agents and up to 26-34 microns for physical expandable microspheres, allowing for fine-tuning of foam cell structure and overall material aesthetics.

Beyond plastics and rubber, ADCA is also a key component in the production of synthetic leather and artificial leather, where it contributes to the material's soft touch, elasticity, and dimensional stability. The ability to customize decomposition profiles and gas volumes makes Azodicarbonamide an excellent choice for intricate molding processes and diverse product designs, ensuring consistent and high-quality results.
